The smart phone made me realize that our evolution of fully opposable thumbs and bipedalism is somewhat overrated. I fail to appreciate the survival benefits of unlimited texting and walking at the same time for our species. We can probably teach gorillas to do the same. There is, or soon will be, an app for that. If we leave a room full of chimps alone with smart phones they would probably text at random the complete works of William Shakespeare. There is, or soon will be, an app for that as well. Fiddling with my phone, I'm discovering there is pretty much an app for most anything imaginable. Time to put my brain in sleep mode and devolve into a mindless being. I'm looking for the app that will turn me back into an amoeba.
